Samantha explains her Show Us Where You Live design: I live in South Carolina, and it’s called the Low Country here for a reason! lol! You can guarantee, any time you see a body of water (small or large!) there will be an alligator swimming in it!


Samantha inked the background and the Stitched Pond to start setting the scene for this alligator habitat. She used Distress Oxide ink in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles. Then she filled in images from Critters in the Jungle, Toadally Awesome and Swan Soirée.


Finally, she added the alligators from Croc My World and Wild For You and the perfect little message! Somehow these two don’t look so intimidating.

Thank for this super fun inspiration, Samantha!

Samantha’s Sweet Critter Birthday Card

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

We invite you to join us for our current All Things Birthday Challenge! It will be open until Sunday, March 20th at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see your creative birthday ideas!

Samantha created a birthday card with some super cute critters! She started with a Fancy Lattice Backdrop in white layered over a Speckled Eggshell panel. She added this to a Ballet Slippers panel to create a pretty pastel background.

Next, she stamped, colored and die cut images to create a sweet critter birthday celebration! She combined Birthday Before ‘n Afters, Butterfly Kisses, Really High Five, Dandy Day and Scootin’ By. For the greeting she stamped a birthday message from Wavy Sayings on a Simple Wavy Banner.

Thank you so much for inspiring us today, Samantha! This card is so adorable!

Happy crafting friends! We can’t wait to see your All Things Birthday creativity!

Let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!

Samantha‘s Out of This World design is so adorable! I love how she used the planets as the circles in the sketch!

Joyce saw bubbles in the sketch and used Bubbles Stencil to ink up the shapes. Then she added some super cute Bubbles of Joy images to finish this adorable card!

Christy‘s card gives a nod to the sketch by turning it on its side and using the lily pads to represent the circular shapes. Her Swan Soirée design makes a lovely wedding card!

Franci totally captured the Card Sketch with this whimsical Bubbles of Joy design! She added a Scripty Bubble Sentiment and some gorgeous bubble coloring to make a memorable card!

Karin interpreted the sketch literally in this abstract beauty! She created organic shapes with watercolor, adding some pretty gold splatters. Then she cut Scripty Love from gold metallic cardstock for the greeting.

Caly was inspired to use Stitched Umbrella and some big raindrops for her beautiful design! With just a little inking in the background, this card is clean & simple fun!

Samantha saw clouds and a unicorn in the Card Sketch! This magical card is a fun way to interpret the sketch!

Jessica got creative with her design and flipped the sketch to the other side! She used stamps from Science of Love to create this super sweet card!

Jenn replaced the circles in the sketch with stars! She used Puffy Star Stackables and Outside In Stitched Stars as well! The colorful watercolor background in so much fun! She included a good luck greeting using Riley’s ABCs and Finley’s ABCs!

We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 118 – Clean and Simple tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!
